The Revealer: A Compassionate Budget: "A Compassionate Budget
08 February 2005
While President Bush's proposed budget is making headlines for its hidden surprises and its suggested cuts to more than 150 traditional social service programs -- including health care, veterans' prescriptions, food stamps, and housing benefits for the poor or disabled -- it's found the odd hundreds of millions of dollars to increase federal funding to faith-based programs that promote abstinence, marriage, religion-based mentoring, and other priorities of the 'compassion agenda.' Jim Towey, director of the White House faith-based initiatives program, defended the budget, explaining that Bush believes that ''America's armies of compassion mean a lot in the lives of the poor.'' Critics say the faith-based increases are simply a means to fund a clear, conservative social agenda. But Wade F. Horn, who heads abstinence and marriage initiatives for the Department of Health and Human Services -- some of the few programs in the HHS that would receive increases rather than cuts -- offers this consolation: at the end of the day, teens will have one more person telling them to wait to have sex."

Nevermind that every study has shown that the abstinence only programs don't work! We should just keep doing it even though those kids are simply robbed of any decent discussion about safe sex. Hell, I am sure those unwanted pregnancies will be dealt with just fine. It is most important that we stand on irrational and unreasonable principle dogma. After all, Science is only useful when it shows that prayer works, or that there might be some aspects of evolution that are unclear. Any other "science" is simply secular humanist propaganda.

Well, it is clear. A country this stupid deserves an equally stupid president. And yes, still angry.
